Programs Overview

SKIING: Intro and Recreational

EMSC Youth Ski League (USSS YSL Race Series)  The EMSC Youth Ski League (YSL) program is for athletes from 6-15 years old. This program is an excellent introduction to ski racing that focuses primarily on developing solid fundamental skiing skills and introducing young athletes to the competition routine and environment.  75% of the athletes time is spent working skills on the mountain with the remaining 25% of the time training gates.
